Poem

THE NEARER VIEW

GERTRUDE RING

I did not know such heights were to be won!I thought them inaccessible, remote,Shining in solitude approached by none;Silent and colorless, save there should floatA fleecy sunset cloud awhile to flushIts majesty; then chilled, drop down in tearsUpon the summit, frozen by the hushTo icy mantle thickening with the years.

THE VISION OF TRUTH

WINIFRED BORLEE.

What traveler, wand'ring through some murky town,Begrimed with dirt and grim with lurking crime,But bears within him visions of a climeWhere peace and beauty vale and mountain crownWith gentle radiance, and the city's gownA robe of glory is; where hate nor timeHolds any slaves, where being is sublime,And Love knows neither nor jealous frown?
Poem

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

Can you hear the whisper low — in the trees,Just at nightfall, when the sighing evening breezeFills the sacred moments with repose?
